[PRAVEEN] For one-liner question, we could only imagine the scenario that
you are trying to solve. And this is what we could come up. May be you can
provide more detailed question on what scenario you would like to solve.
We could help in answering those scenarios.

When admin changes the prefix of a spoke, spoke¹s existing static tunnel
with Hub, gets re-negotatiaged for updated prefix in Tsi/TSr payload. This
event updates the Hub about changed prefix information. Is that what you
wanted to know?

[PRAVEEN] ³resource² you means ADVPN_INFO payload or Subnet information?
ADVPN_INFO exchanged between spokes. Subnet information exchanged part of
Tsi and TSr during IKE negotiation (which means between hub & spoke and
between spokes as well).
